A man in the Qin Dynasty changed the world by collecting entries.

"you!"

Xiaomeng looked at Bai Yuan with some surprise. She didn't expect that the seemingly ordinary man could force her back with a casual move.

However, Xiaomeng was somewhat unhappy with Bai Yuan's evaluation.

"I hadn't even put in my full strength for the last sword strike!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her sword again and thrust it at Bai Yuan.

Seeing this, Bai Yuan neither dodged nor evaded. He put his right hand behind his back and extended his index and middle fingers with his left hand, forming a sword shape.

Xiaomeng frowned slightly upon seeing this, clearly annoyed that Bai Yuan had underestimated her.

But what happened next caught her somewhat off guard.

Bai Yuan used his finger as a sword to clash with the wooden sword. With a slight turn of his wrist, a suction force came, and Xiao Meng immediately felt that the sword in her hand was out of control. She gripped the sword tightly, and her whole body was lifted into the air.

The wooden sword slipped from her hand and flew away, causing Xiaomeng to fall to the ground with a cry of "Ouch!"

"Is this the result of your efforts? Junior sister, this is no good!"

Bai Yuan stepped forward, a slightly mischievous smile on his face, and ruffled Xiao Meng's hair.

Xiaomeng immediately became a little angry.

"What junior sister? You should call me Master Aiyo!"

Before she could finish speaking, Bai Yuan flicked her forehead.

"You have no manners! What do you mean by 'junior uncle'? You should be calling me 'senior brother'! You weren't even born when I became your disciple!"

Xiaomeng covered her head and was stunned when she heard Bai Yuan's words.

"You...you're Senior Brother Bai Yuan!"

Chapter 222 Do you still think I'm a three-year-old?

After hearing Bai Yuan's words, Xiao Meng quickly realized what was going on.

She was naturally aware of Bai Yuan's great reputation.

Since she joined the Heavenly Sect, she has often heard news about her senior brother, whom she has never met, from the disciples and even the elders of the Heavenly Sect.

Although many people in the Heavenly Sect were previously dissatisfied with Bai Yuan's eccentric personality and the many ridiculous things he did, now that Bai Yuan has brought the Heavenly Sect a series of good things such as Qi Nourishing Pills, Papermaking Trees, and even Spirit Gathering Pills, no one in the Heavenly Sect, from disciples to elders, speaks ill of Bai Yuan anymore.

Therefore, Xiaomeng only hears positive news about Bai Yuan's talent and contributions to the Heavenly Sect.

Therefore, she had always been very curious about Bai Yuan, but she never expected that their first meeting would result in such a funny situation.

Thinking that she had just called herself her senior uncle, Xiaomeng felt extremely embarrassed and didn't know what to do with her hands.

However, she wasn't one to dwell on things. Xiaomeng stood up, dusted herself off, and then cupped her hands in a respectful gesture towards Bai Yuan.

"Greetings, Senior Brother Bai Yuan!"

"What? Now you don't want me to call you 'Uncle-Master' anymore?"

Bai Yuan joked.

Upon hearing this, Xiaomeng's expression froze, and then she pouted and stomped her foot.

"It was clearly my senior brother who deliberately misled me, and I misunderstood!"

Bai Yuan couldn't help but smile after hearing this.

He did it on purpose; he couldn't resist teasing Xiaomeng when he saw her.

"By the way, senior brother, you're a little different from what I expected!"

Xiaomeng didn't dwell on what had just happened; she stared at Bai Yuan and scrutinized him carefully.

She had initially thought Bai Yuan was just an ordinary disciple and hadn't paid much attention, but after learning that he was her senior brother, she couldn't help but take a few more glances out of curiosity.

"It's not quite what you expected? Then tell me, what kind of person did you expect me to be?"

"In my imagination, you should be like Senior Brother Chisongzi and the others, wearing a long Taoist robe, with white hair and a long beard."

Xiaomeng gestured with her hands as she spoke.

Upon hearing her description, Bai Yuan was immediately amused.

"Although you misunderstood me a bit during our first meeting, I'm magnanimous and won't hold it against you. As your senior, let me give you a little gift!"

Bai Yuan smiled and took out a bright red fruit from his divine essence space.

"Senior brother, do you still think I'm a three-year-old?"

Xiaomeng gave a soft humph. She said it was a gift to mark the meeting, but what was the point of giving just a piece of fruit?

However, Bai Yuan couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

He had cultivated three spiritual herbs at the same time. Apart from the Spirit Gathering Grass, the other two herbs took a long time to mature.

These two spiritual herbs are the [Spirit-Nourishing Fruit] and the [Golden Flame Flower].

One can quickly restore physical strength and internal energy, while the other is of great help to those who cultivate fire-attribute techniques.

"Don't underestimate it, this is a truly valuable item. Eating it can instantly restore a large amount of physical and internal energy. In the entire Heavenly Sect, besides me, only you have ever seen it. If you don't want it, then I'll take it back."

It is. ”

As Bai Yuan spoke, he made a move to put away the [Spirit-Nourishing Fruit].

Upon hearing this, Xiaomeng immediately became anxious and snatched the Spirit-Nourishing Fruit away.

"Since you said you'd give it to me, how could I go back on my word? It's mine now! Thank you, senior brother!"

Xiaomeng held the fruit in her hands and politely thanked her.

"Alright, you should focus on your cultivation! I'll be going now."

After delivering the items, Bai Yuan didn't linger. He said goodbye and left.

As Xiaomeng watched Bai Yuan's departing figure and then looked at the fruit in her hand, she became even more curious about what kind of person Bai Yuan really was.

On the other side, Chisongzi quickly gathered all the elders of the Heavenly Sect to discuss the feasibility of the martial arts tournament proposed by Bai Yuan.

This type of competition had never existed in the martial arts world before.

Similar contests existed among the various schools of thought in the past, but they were mainly about discussing principles, which was essentially a battle of wits.

Pure physical combat is something only a reckless person would do.

However, the form of martial arts combat proposed by Bai Yuan is indeed the best way to demonstrate individual strength and deter villains.

After all, some people can't be intimidated by words alone. Such people often lack morality, are shameless and unscrupulous enough, and use despicable and dirty methods. Without the use of force, it is impossible to deter them.

However, although the Taoist school was among the most powerful of the various schools of thought, it was still not powerful enough to intimidate the world with its military might.

Therefore, martial arts tournaments do carry a certain degree of risk.

If handled poorly, it could damage the reputation of the Heavenly Sect, failing to serve as a deterrent and instead becoming a laughingstock.

Therefore, Chishongzi and the others discussed the martial arts tournament for an entire night.

Ultimately, they decided to go along with Bai Yuan's suggestion and hold the martial arts tournament.

However, the goal is no longer to intimidate others, but to make friends through martial arts. Intimidating others is enough if there is a pact between heaven and man.

If they are too assertive, the Heavenly Sect may become the target of public criticism, and the situation will only get worse, which is not in line with the Heavenly Sect's consistent style of doing things.

Therefore, the Heavenly Sect will not send anyone to participate in this martial arts tournament, at least not Chishongzi and his group.

They had already decided on the rewards for this martial arts tournament. In addition to pills, the first-place winner would also receive a recipe for a Qi-Nourishing Pill.

They now have a better Spirit Gathering Pill, which is far more cost-effective than the Qi Nourishing Pill.

Therefore, the formula for the Qi-Nourishing Pill is actually somewhat useless to them. Not only is it not very useful, but it will also attract the covetousness of various forces, causing trouble for the Heavenly Sect. Since that's the case, they might as well release it to divert attention and let others share the pressure.

However, before making this decision, Chishongzi still sent someone to ask Baiyuan for his opinion.

In the end, Bai Yuan readily agreed.

To be honest, he no longer values ​​the Qi-Nourishing Pill recipe he gave Chisongzi; it's completely useless to him now.

Since Chishongzi can still make use of this elixir formula, he naturally wouldn't object.

He was more concerned with whether the martial arts tournament could be successfully held than with what rewards it would offer.

After learning that Chishongzi and the others had agreed to hold a martial arts tournament, Bai Yuan couldn't stop smiling.

"It seems you're quite interested in this martial arts tournament?"

After seeing the bright smile on Bai Yuan's face, Ningyan and the others asked curiously.

"Of course I'm interested. Many masters from various schools of thought will be coming. I believe they will be very enthusiastic about participating in this martial arts tournament for the sake of the Qi-Nourishing Pill formula. I think this will be even more exciting than the Heavenly Rendezvous!"

Chapter 223 Do they look like they won't live much longer?

Time flies, and the promise between heaven and man is getting closer and closer.

Because the Celestial and Human Schools sent out many invitations in advance, people from various schools of thought gradually arrived at Mount Taiyi during this period.

Moreover, monarchs from various countries also sent envoys to the event.

However, not all the forces that received invitations came; some forces only sent people of low rank.

Of course, the more powerful schools of thought among the Hundred Schools of Thought took the Daoist invitation seriously, and all the attendees were heavyweight figures.

For example, the leader of the Mohist school came with Master Ban and a group of Mohist disciples.

The Confucian school was joined by Xun Kuang and his two disciples, namely Li Si and Han Fei.

At the entrance of Taiyi Palace, the disciples of the Heavenly and Human Sects on duty receive many guests every day.

Sure enough, another convoy of carriages arrived, and Nan Gong of the Yin Yang School, along with Dong Jun Yan Fei, Yue Shen, and the four elders of the Metal, Water, Fire, and Earth sects, disembarked from the carriages.

Seeing the impressive lineup of the Yin-Yang School, the disciples of the Heavenly and Human Sects couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

It's quite surprising that almost all the high-ranking members of the Yin-Yang School have been mobilized.

"It's been so many years since I last visited the Heavenly Sect, but it's still the same as before!"

The oldest and most senior member of the Yin-Yang School sighed softly.
